QUOTES
Dr. Tommy - Definition of resilience: “Resilience, John, and John, is really about just bouncing back from adversity because no matter what area of life you come from, or what you do, we're always going to face some challenges when it comes to life, life is gonna throw things at us, and we got to be able to bounce back. But I think oftentimes people look at resiliency as simply surviving, that's an aspect of it. But resiliency is really about bouncing back and thriving.”
Dr. Tommy - Focus on the positive: “Sometimes in the midst of a lot of chaos, you have to hone in on the one thing that's going right, find one thing that's going right and hold on to it.”
